The calibre is not anywhere near the elite leagues in the world, but that's what a lot of people in North America seem to fail to realize: that soccer leagues are EVERYWHERE...

Although I don't like the path MLS is taking, I have to admit that you are speaking nothing but the truth. The league is run in a very professional fashion and with their skill level it is a relatively decent league in World football. However, like you allude to a casual fan probably wouldn't follow the league if they did not have an interest in any of the franchises. Nonetheless, I was able to attend a TFC match with my cousin last year and really enjoyed myself. Especially when Dallas equalized late on.
